After months of feeling my depression come back, I’ve been having nothing but good days since school started again

After months of feeling my depression come back, I’ve been having nothing but good days since school started again I made a previous post about doing well while talking in school and in public despite my stutter, and me working up the confidence to disclose my stutter to my peers. I made even MORE progress today. Before today I wouldn’t answer questions in class if I could feel that I would stutter beforehand. Three times today I answered questions and contributed to discussion, and I stuttered, but since I was confident and projected my voice confidently I worked through stutters quickly and easily. AND I was taken seriously. The past week has been nothing but good for me. I hope I can keep this up the whole year— I’m getting counseling for my anxiety in October. It feels like I have hope now. I feel like I can contribute to society now despite my stutter and be a harder worker/better person because of it. It took me 10 years to speak confidently with a stutter and it’s only starting to happen now. If you are a stutterer and you’re naturally inclined to be quiet like me, do everything you can to step out of your comfort zone. It will help. People will like you. People will respond comfortably to you if they know you stutter and if you OWN your stutter like a champ. In my history class I made my kahoot nickname L-L-L-Lilah today and I don’t regret it, cuz it was fucking funny. People know me as a stutterer and I’m gonna own it. OWN IT!!
